Castlevania's massive library of music is up on Konami's new Spotify
Konami has put 12 of the Castlevania soundtracks on a Spotify playlist in case you needed to get your Symphony of the Night (or other good albums) on.
It’s never a bad time for Castlevania music. The series has built a reputation for some of the best game soundtracks in the industry whether you’re talking about the original Vampire Killer or more modern picks like After Confession from Aria of Sorrow. Konami knows what they have and recently they put a large collection of it together for fans to listen to on Spotify.
Konami announced their new Spotify and the wealthy addition of Castlevania to it on the Konami Europe Twitter on May 20, 2020. The new Konami Europe Spotify account was put together with 12 soundtracks ranging from the very beginning with Castlevania’s original soundtrack and the arranged version in Castlevania Chronicles all the way up to the Castlevania: Harmony of Despair multiplayer title which featured a remastered collection of tracks throughout the franchise. It’s a pretty great offering to say the least, chock full of good tunes and memories of good times throughout the storied franchise.
We know how much you all love the soundtracks to our games, so we’ve put them all in one place!

Konami has promised that this is only the start of their offering on their new Spotify channel. After all, Konami has plenty of other titles with good music as well (Contra and Silent Hill, anyone?). While it would be very cool to see Konami get back to making new, quality Castlevania titles, it’s at least nice to get lost in the mastery of their musical offerings and neat mobile ports of Symphony of the Night while we wait.

I’m still bummed that google music never got all the final fantasy OSTs that hit Spotify and I believe Apple well over a year ago. Spotify pushing the exclusives

I have both of them - Portrait of Ruin I liked, but didn't consider it quite as tight as Sorrow. I did appreciate the ties back to prior titles with Eric Lecard, and the alternative game modes were amusing.
Order of Ecclesia... well, I appreciated the nod to Simon's Quest and a lot of individual aspects of it, but I found the difficulty curve to be kinda questionable and and some of the enemy design to be outright bad - lots of floaty enemies that like inhabiting your hitbox while being awkward to hit. I finished it, but I'd only recommend it to people looking for a challenge.
I was kinda amused by how much he seemed to reuse aspects of Ecclesia in Bloodstained.
